Global Warming Blues
(May be sung, just about, to the tune of "Look Over Yonder's Wall" by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Not sure I'd recommend it though.)

Well I woke up this morning, the thermometer was rising,
Kept staring at the figures 'cos they were so hypnotising,
Got a big ozone hole, opening over my head,
I can't help myself from wishing I'd just stayed in my bed.

I got the global warming blues, the global warming blues,
I can't find no way to hide from it, it's always in the news,
And it's too late to escape it, got the global warming blues.

Well, the polar bears are done for, and the penguins they are too,
The ice floes are a-melting and they're all a-falling through,
The waters gonna rise and we're all like to be drowned,
All humanity is done for if a cure for it can't be found.

I got the global warming blues, the global warming blues,
The ground'll turn to slime and we'll all sink into the ooze,
The waters sure look muddy, got the global warming blues.

J G Ballard would have liked it, and Brian Aldiss too,
But Ahrvid Engholm he just wags his finger at you,
He says it's all a myth and we can party on down,
He says that we're not warming up and we ain't got no cause to frown.

He ain't got the global warming blues, the global warming blues,
If you ask him to believe in it, he always will refuse,
He says it's not real science, he won't have those global warming blues.

It's those damn chlorofluorocarbons have got us in this state,
We can try to do without them but it's surely far too late,
The planet's melting down and we're all gonna die.
It's looking mighty likely that the human race'll soon say bye bye.

We got the global warming blues, the global warming blues,
We done made Mama Nature go and blow a great big fuse,
And now she's mighty mad, she got the global warming blues.
(One more time!)
We got the global warming blues, the global warming blues,
We gonna have to all climb onto Noah's Ark in twos
Or else we gonna drown, from the global warming blues.
(Shooby do wah!)

Big Mama Bond
